A toast to Morgan Freeman and Kate Blanchett!

[Seabiscuit]

It's about time they got the recognition they've deserved for years.

Now keeping my fingers crossed for Martin Scorcese.

:toast:

[Ekirh]

1. I'll join you in this toast

And yes.... May Scorcese get what he should've gotten for Goodfellas a while back.... :toast:

[Seabiscuit]

3. Just watched Goodfellas again today

and Scorcese was brilliant.

[charlyvi]

2. He was robbed for "Raging Bull"

The movie won for best movie, but he didn't get best director. One of the few times it's happened that way. Rock on Martin!

[Ekirh]

4. Sadly....

It didn't win best picture.. it lost to Ordinary People

It did win best actor.

[charlyvi]

5. Really?

Sorry....Just wishing I guess. BUT HE WAS STILL ROBBED!

[Ekirh]

8. Yes he was robbed

What you might of been thinking of.. I think Ebert (Someone correct me if I am wrong) Declared it the best movie for the decade of the 1980's

[charlyvi]

9. I remember there was a year when the best movie won

without the best director winning. Maybe Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg?

:shrug:

[n2mark]

6. I'm so happy

they both deserved to win.

[saltpoint]

7. I love these two folks' work. Can I join in on the toast?

[Seabiscuit]

11. Please do - happy to see so many like-minded folk in this thread

:grouphug:

[saltpoint]

17. Ah dang. I wish you had given me advance warning --

-- on that group hug.

I spilled my popcorn and Pepsi!

(thanks, seabiscuit. Nice thread.)

[Seabiscuit]

18. LOL! You're welcome.

[David Dunham]

10. Eastwood will take best director.

[charlyvi]

12. Possibly, but I'm rooting for Scorcese.

Eastwood has two already, not that it should make a difference. But Scorcese is WAY overdue.

[sonicx]

13. not so sure about that

[NV Whino]

14. Cate can do no wrong

Unfortunately, as much as I loved her doing Kate, this was not her best performance. But I drink to her very existance. Thank you Cate for enriching our lives.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. I just can't. I wanted Alan to win. I know that Morgan has been passed

over when he deserved it, but I really think Alda deserved it more. :(

[NV Whino]

16. Haven't seen M$B yet, but I agree about Alda

Great performance. He and Cate were the only two good things about that movie.
